Problems with FLINTSTONES?

Hi everybody, I just thought I'd share my new find. I am allowed to take any pills that are the size of an aspirin or smaller. I had eben having a lot of trouble with the Flintstones, and it seemed to be worse everyday. So I bought some Centrum Complete, and with a pill cutter cut them in half (this makes them the size of an aspirin); now I am done with the Flintstones! It was a great relief to know that I could swallow my vites.

I take Chewable centrum. They are not too bad. I eat one before my meal because otherwise if I burp I taste the vitamin, its gross! LOL Janet

I do the chewable centrum too. I actually like the taste. I tried a couple different kids vitamins and they all made me gag. I was thrilled when I found these!

I take the Flintstones, i really don't mind the taste. I tried the chewable centrum but found i was allergic to them, something in them makes the palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet ich really bad so i had to switch to the flintstones. Oh well at least i'm getting my vitimens in. Now if i could only get all my water and protien in i would be doing great!! Tina

I like my sugar free Scooby-Doo vitamins....I belch up the pre-natal vitamins and all the other OTC ones I've tried.

I take Zippy Zoo Completes from Kroger - they seem to have more nutrients than the Flintstones and it is much more fun to say. I think I have been driving my family nuts because every time I take one I run around the house singing Zippy Zoooo! Zippy Zooo! hehe I have had my entire family start taking them as well.

Hi, M. Bell here. Flintstones are not very easily absorbed in our rerouted plumbing. I suggest you try VistaVitamins chewables. They're made to be easily absorbed in the small intestine and are formulated especially for gastric bypass patients. Go to Bariatriceating.com to order. I have been taking these for the past month and have noticed a significant increase in energy, skin tone and nail strength. These are the vitamins recommended by Carnie Wilson and Susan Maria Leach. I am definately not advertising, just recommending - I hope that's OK. Good luck! - M.Bell

But how do these taste? I have problems with the flavor of the Flintstones.

I hope you were taking the sugar free flintstones, otherwise it may have been the sugar. I take centrum chewables. No problems except they taste bad.

no they were not labeled SF, but the surgeon says they are fine for all her postops. It's not the after part that bothered me, but the during the chewing that gagged me. And teh worst part is they stick in your teeth for hours! Ugh!
